    I've been trying to go swimming, even just leisurely in the lake, seems to help to burn calories and it's refreshing.

    I took an old plastic cylindar container, cut strips of paper and wrote different exercises on each paper (from my bootcamp/online research) then I grab a buddy and we decide before we pull a piece of paper out of the container how many reps we are going to do of it and go through as much of the container as we can. It may not be the most structured workout, but it keeps it random and interesting.

    Here are a few of the exercises in my jar: (some use weights and some don't)

    Burpees
    Sprints
    Pushups
    Rowing Pushups
    Crunches
    Jump Squats
    Rockstars ( Small squat with a jump where your feet pretty much kick your butt)
    Lunges
    Bicep Curls
    Down-ups (run in place like a football player, drop to the ground and get back up again)
    Jumping Jacks
    Bleacher runs (if we go to the high school track)

    As for when it's hot...bring water and embrace the sweat. :)

    I reallyy like this idea! especially since me and my best friend try to workout together! Another variation i read from some magazine is you get a deck of cards and for each suit you categorize it (ex. hearts can be cardio moves etc.) and each card has a certain number of reps with workout. It's really an interesting variation to! haha

    I like hip hop abs or turbo jam for workout videos but i go to the gym and usually use the elliptical or treadmill. Fresh air is good but I'm less inclined to attempt to workout when its this blazing hot outside.
